Healthy food is bad, unhealthy food is good

I eat
food to live not live to eat food and as such I am much of a carnivorous than a
vegetarian. But apart from regular food, I try to eat as much healthy food as
possible but sometimes it is really hard as most of you have come to find out.
I didn’t mean to say healthy food is bad as my title suggests but if one is not
accustomed to it, it will taste weird. I will give you my example, I have
started eating Wheat bread instead of the regular bread on doctor’s orders a
few years ago and I am still continuing it, although it makes me yucky. Same
thing goes with chips as I see original ones and then the ones with less fat
content and obviously original ones are so good and the modified ones are not
that great.Chicken and lamb and fish
are definitely better but red meat is the icing on the cake and even when I
mostly eat Chicken and fish and lamb, I still crave steak and burgers once in a
while.

I have
seen people who have high blood pressure and cholesterol and are diabetics
still sometimes cheat on their diet and eat unhealthy food although their
version of unhealthy food is with no calories or fattening content but nevertheless
not healthy. I sometimes don’t have the patience to go for the healthy food
even it means good for my health as doctor ordered or nutritionist recommended
food is not my cup of tea and I bet that overwhelming people will agree with
me. If not you can just see the long lines outside burger joints and steak
houses serving mostly fat filled food, although they have also added food which
are considered healthy but their main revenue comes from the unhealthy part.
And despite the phenomenon of organic food and dieting craze, there is an
epidemic of obesity not only in the U.S. but all over the world and even when
there is shortage of food; people tend to eat unhealthy meals whenever they
can. I, for one, keep on trying to balance my intake of food but still junk
food wins in the end.
